The 2019 Goliardo A Telleira Caíño is a new single-vineyard wine from the A Telleira vineyard, a 60-year-old vineyard planted with Caíño, Espadeiro and Loureiro that also contributes to the Goliardo Caíño bottling. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top 500-liter oak barrels and then matured in barrel for 20 months, half of the time in used ones and the other half in new ones, as they also did in the Pinot Noir and the Goliardo Caíño. Curiously enough, the use of these new barrels with a specific toast tends to produce finer and more elegant wines, which is their objective, trying to avoid rusticity. Only 600 bottles were filled from one single barrel in August 2021.
